Allina Health System agreed to a $12.5 million class action settlement to resolve claims that it violated consumer privacy rights by using pixel tracking on its website.
The Allina Health settlement benefits individuals who were portal users, non-portal bill pay users and non-portal scheduling users between Sept. 16, 2018, and May 11, 2026. It also benefits those who were non-portal, non-bill pay and non-scheduling patients during the same period.
According to the class action lawsuit, Allina Health System allegedly violated consumer privacy rights by using pixel tracking on its website, which may have shared sensitive personal and health-related information with third parties.
